What I'm looking for

I seek a student-focused role in a values-driven institution where I can deliver counselling services, mentor learners, train peer counsellors, and contribute to program development and ethical practice.

I am a dedicated and compassionate counselling psychologist with a Bachelor of Arts in Counselling Psychology and a Diploma in Counselling Psychology, registered with recognized professional bodies. I have provided individual and group counselling, psychosocial support, crisis intervention, and HIV/AIDS and family-life education across clinical and community settings, while maintaining strict ethical standards and data protection.

I have experience training and supervising peer counsellors and students, developing lesson plans and practical assessments, coordinating programs, and strengthening referral systems with stakeholders. My work includes roles in hospitals, community centres, and training institutes where I delivered evidence-based interventions, mentored learners, and managed mental health programs to improve wellbeing for youth and vulnerable populations.
